Greetings!
It’s a rainy day—and honestly, I’m glad for it. We’ve needed the rain, though the gray skies do make everything feel a bit subdued. Still, it's the perfect time to focus on home projects. With a bit of quiet, I should be able to wrap up my reversible quilt. I finally picked up the extra T-pins I needed to smooth everything out and finish stitching the two halves together with the batting and piping.
For Mother’s Day, we took Mom to brunch at Bruchner’s Bierhalle in Jacksonville. It was a wonderful experience—great atmosphere, traditional German music, and a lively crowd. We sat outside on benches, enjoyed some bier and wurst, and soaked in the vibe. It’s a cozy little spot tucked away near I-10 and I-95. We’re already planning to go back for one of their live music events.
We also stopped by Beyond Fabric on Saturday to have our kitchen knives sharpened. What a difference it makes! Cooking is so much easier when your tools are in good condition. They offer a convenient service—you can drop knives off any day and pick them up in a day or two. Highly recommended.
My other big win this weekend was finding a replacement glass knob for the percolator lid on our 1950s Faberware coffee pot. After years of using our small stash of original knobs—many of which have cracked from age—we finally ran out. The pot itself still works beautifully, and thanks to Amazon, we now have it back in full service. These older appliances were built to last with quality materials you just don’t see as often today.
I’ve been exploring Made-in-America websites lately and trying to be more mindful of where the items I purchase come from. Supporting domestic manufacturing feels like an extension of shopping local, just on a national scale.
I hope your weekend was as enjoyable and relaxing as ours.
Warm regards,
Cathy

Event by These Colors Don’t Run Tattoos & Piercings
These Colors Don’t Run Tattoos & Piercings Friday 11-7p
What better way to express yourself than a brand new piercing on National Piercing day. Please read to the end to answer any and all questions. We only use titanium & surgical steel jewelry for all piercings and our prices include the jewelry. 1st & 2nd lobe piercings~$32. Children under 12~$32. All other piercings: cartilage, ear, lip, eyebrow, nostril, septum, tongue & navel $32. This includes basic stud or barbell jewelry. Nipples are $42. Upgrade any piercing for only $10 to gem or cubic zirconia. We do not do appointments, walk-ins only. We offer numbing gel for the little ones. It has to set for about 20 minutes and helps with the pain. Nothing is pain free or helps with anxiety but definitely helps with the aftershock. Under 18 must have a parent present with a copy of birth certificate. We do not need the physical birth certificate, our consent form is digital so a picture on your phone is suitable to upload. Please be patient as we are usually very busy. Come in, sign in and relax.
Life is expensive enough, expressing yourself shouldn’t be. Let’s get you sparkled!

Some wines just can’t catch a break. Whether they were mocked in movies, shunned by trends, or unfairly labeled as “cheap,” these bottles deserve better. "Maligned, Misunderstood, Magnificent" is your chance to uncork their potential and taste what the critics - and the memes - missed.

Backstage Kids is a Children’s Ministry of Three Rivers Church. The program runs throughout the summer meeting on Wednesday nights from 6-8pm for practice- which includes rehearsal for the musical, Bible lesson, crafts, games, and snacks. The final production will be on July 27th. Full detailed schedule is posted in the registration link.
This year’s musical is Away in a Mango. A festive holiday cruise to Christmas Island aboard the luxurious Yuletide turns perilous for nine passengers on a day shopping excursion when their boat, the SS Mango, is caught in an unexpected storm and washed ashore on a deserted island. Deserted, that is, except for the island’s lone inhabitant, Johnny Coconut, marooned there years before. Will they be found in time for the ship’s big Christmas Concert? (hint: yes, they will!) What’s Johnny’s story? All aboard for a totally fresh, totally fun Christmas adventure for kids as they join the intrepid castaways of the SS Mango. After all, the story of the birth of Jesus is the story of lost people, unable to save themselves, being rescued by the long-awaited Savior!
Registration opens on April 30th and closes May 14th.
Ages 5 yrs- Completed 5th Grade
Registration fee- $25 per child
